Sand from the Ice Age, Nelson Rockafeller, a dream of universal education, Pakistan's nuclear authority, Nabokov's endangered butterfly.... Oh, and modernism. Right now it all ties back to modernism to Edward Durell Stone's SUNY Albany campus. This is the "Butterfly Effect" where a university built on sand connects to the butterfly and Nabokov and to Pakistan and a dream of a better future. It's my essay for the University of Albany Art Museum's show Future Perfect and is also a publishing project to expose my research over time and get reshuffled into a longer essay that asks questions of us and our responsibilities at this time, and what happens when we give up hope for change. Or how to change, how to embrace change, how to embrace an idea that progress might be possible? Or is hope lost?
